Tips To Finding Tarpon Fishing Guides

By Agnes Franco


A Key West tarpon fishing adventure is something that every game fisher must experience. There is nothing like the thrill of catching a great fish. Add on to the fun the beautiful waters of the sea and you have got yourself a vacation worth remembering.

Tarpons are large fishes that grow up to eight feet long. That size alone makes it impressive catch. Add on to it about two hundred pounds of mass to contend with and your friends will surely be impressed when you tell them how big a fish you caught. Getting a good catch is made easier by various charter services offered at the Florida Keys.

To have a happy trip, you have to have a happy guide. There are horror stories of some people getting shouted upon by guides from hell. Make sure that you do not get such a guide. Yes, they are experts on the game but they do not need to rub your inexperience to your face.

Having a boat does not merit one as a good guide. Knowing the waters is more important. A good captain is also knowledgeable as to the places where good sized fishes can be caught. Most of the captains in Florida has a secret spot as they themselves are fishers.

A good knowledge about first aid is important for any guide as accidents can always happen. There are big hooks, fishing lines, and huge fishes fighting for their lives to contend with. You do not want to have to wait to get to the shore before a cut can be attended to.

Booking your trip is also easy. You can make advance reservations online. If you find yourself in the Keys with a sudden urge to hit the waters, you can visit the guide's office to make bookings. Just be sure that before you do, you get to see that the actual boat to be used is in good condition and that pick up and drop off points are to your convenience.

There is nothing like the adrenaline rush that you get from reeling in a big fish. To make for a wonderful adventure, try key west tarpon fishing. For sure your friends will believe you when you tell them that you caught a fish this big.
